“All’s Fair” in Love and Tecolote

A bevy of bibliophiles descended on Tecolote, the upper village literary gem, when retired corporate attorney David Gersh hosted a launch bash for his latest art mystery, All’s Fair, featuring Jonathan Benjamin Franklin.

It is one of eight books that Montecito resident David, a Harvard Law School graduate, has written.

His last tome, published in 2021, was The Whisper of a Distant God, an historical fiction on the Civil War, which took him six years to research and write.

He is already busy at work on his ninth novel, a political satire.

Among fans turning out were Bob Turbin, new president of the Ensemble Theatre, NancyBell Coe, Anne Gersh, Kia McInerny, Gary Kuist, and Scott and Edie DeVine.
